Pros

Car, cell phone, paychecks that surprisingly don't bounce, free business cards, small and ineffective expense account that allows you to buy one person lunch per month.

Cons

Massive employee turnover, surprised they don't issue digital name tags as a cost saving measure. Constant cutbacks, smaller car, more restrictions, lower pay, lower commissions, more work, more paperwork in the name of accountability. Management is delusional thinking that paying $30-40k per year is 'industry standard'. Constant unrealistic expectations of 20-30 percent growth in recessionary economy. Don't offer products customers want and what we do offer is double, triple or more the price from competition. Management's attitude towards employees is anybody can do your job and you are easily replaced. Lots of meaningless red tape to get simple things done. Very demotivating working environment. Deceptive practices towards customers, and towards you as an employee. They use your relationship with your customer to push overpriced products on customers, which makes you look like a thief in the eyes of your customer. Selling the most expensive product in the industry requires skills and abilities which Wurth is unwilling to pay for.

Pros

They have a lot of on site employee amenities with a hybrid work model. Would recommend negotiating as much remote freedom as possible. Office keeps up the cool techy image and they have professional relationships with interesting product prospects.

Cons

Hard to work with as management is not clear on what they want/need from their employees. Higher ups also have had a history of misogyny and discriminatory behaviour that HR may be trying to keep under wraps and manage the perspective that it never existed but if you get to talk with them more on a personal level, there are signs especially from the other men. Also seems that there is a lack of accountability where management don't talk with each other clearly and expect employees to be the middlemen. Either they figure it out or they are shut out from circles. There is also a superficial act of addressing issues because "startup culture" so they move fast. But just as friendly as they start out, they'll ice you out just as quickly. Somebody also passed away recently and the reaction from management was PC at best.
